I had a friend rescued from traffic court because he was on a hotel staff and had been cleared, so rather than run a security clearance on his assistant they handled the traffic ticket for him.
Yeah, but can't you search the guy, then let him fish? Creating your own private stream for the day? Sheesh.

and by the way, my post was non-political. It had nothing to do with which party the guy was from...taking over a trout stream is jacked up, security or no.
